IMPRCVBMENT IN fHoRsn-Pownns. v

TleSohedule reien'edto in these Lettere Patent and making part of the sante.

'have 4invented a new and useful Improvementn Horse-Powers; and I 'do hereby declare that. the folf lowing is a full, clear, and exact -description thereof,

whiehwill enable others skilled in thefart to make and n se the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing forming 'apart of this specification. This invention relates to improvements in horsepowers, and 'consists in the employment, onth'e driving-shalt Ato-which the sweep is connected, and which is mounted verticallyl in a'sntable portable frame, which also supports the Vcounter-sllafting, ot' a horizontal driving-wheel, provided withoblique teeth, gearing int'ovjapinion also having oblique lteeth, Vand, arranged to revolve in a vertical plane and impart motion to a `horizontal shaft, the teeth on both, the driving-wheel and the pinion representing inclined planes, which may `he valied to a considerable extent in the angle of the pitch, as found most desirable according to the easeji'n hand.- v

The said improved power is also applicable, with a slight modification, for the application of steam or votherpower.

Fignre l` is a side elevationof my improved horsepower, partly sectioned. f

Figure 2 is a plan view ofA a modification, showing a convenient way` for the application of steam-power.

` Similar letters .of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is'the frame;

Y B, the main vertical shaft;

O, the sweep or arm forhitehing the horses;

I Dis the large driving-wheel;

E, the pinion onthe horizontal counter-shaft;

F, a multiplying shaft; and` Y G, the transmitting shaft;

H is the belt, transmitting the motion from the 'counter-shalt to the shaft E; and Y I. a belt, working from the latter to the transmit ting-shaft G. Y Y

The teeth H vof the driving-wheel D are placed obliqnely across the face, and the teeth K of the pinion E are'also arranged obliquely to' correspond with those on the wheel D, which, passing between the teeth K, act on them in the manner of inclined planes, and impart rotary motion to the horizontal shaft, arranged tangentially to the i face of the driving-wheel.

This mode oi' gearing is considered preferable for horse-power and other like apparatus to the ordinary spnr- 'or bevel cog-wheels. y i

In tig. 2 Iwhave represented a Aplan for the application of steam-power by yattaching the connecting-rod L ot the steam-engineto a wrist-pin, M, on the upper face, of the driving-wheel D, placed on the top of the shaft and at the top of the frame A, the counter-shaft and'pinion' being also placed at thetop.

Having thus described my invention- A What [claim as new, anddesire to secure by Let ters Patent, ils- The employment'in a horse or other power-'apparatus, ysubstantially as specified, of a drivingwheel, D, and pinion E, provided with teeth L K, arranged and operating substantially as specified.
